+1, I think this is a net improvement.

The only thing I would change on top of this is move the reference to section
9.30 under table_rewrite to be at the end after both supporting functions since
the link is relevant to both of them. Something like:

-    <literal>pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid()</literal> (see
-    <xref linkend="functions-event-triggers"/>). To discover the reason(s)
-    for the rewrite, use the function
-    <literal>pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason()</literal>.
